Fractures of the greater and lesser tuberosities of the humerus are often caused by direct trauma or traumatic dislocations. Besides clinical examination and radiological diagnostics, computed tomography (CT) scans and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) should be obtained. In general, fragment ...
The proximal humerus tends to fracture into four distinct fragments: the humeral shaft, the greater and lesser tuberosities, and the articular surface [1]. Neer based his classification system on displacement of these fragments by greater than 1 cm or angulation of more than 45°. In a retros...
Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is often indicated in elderly patients with displaced proximal humerus fractures (PHF). The rate of greater tuberosity (GT) healing varies from 37 to 90% in this population. The aim of this study was to assess greater and lesser tuberosity (LT) fixation and...
